My RH9 project is under version control. I have a list of "broken" links that are actually links to topics in another project. I want to do a global replacement of the path for one of the broken links. I choose Edit>Find and Replace in Files. I list the old path and the new path, and I click Find. RH finds occurrences of the broken link in 25 files. But it won't let me replace them... it says the files are read-only. As far as I can tell, the only way to make the changes is to close the dialog and edit the files one at a time, which automatically checks each file out of source safe. However, this is not an efficient method!

I guess I could check out all the files in the project before attempting the find and replace. Does anyone have a better suggestion? Is there an option in the Edit>Find and Replace dialog that I'm missing?

I'm not a user of source control - guess why! Surely though you are trying to edit files and I would expect RoboHelp not to allow you to make changes until the topic is checked out to you. Otherwise you could be making a change to a file checked out to someone else.
